I'm assuming the 'pearliness' is a result of the gilding and how the photo was taken. However, I agree it does look more like a replica than the real thing, due to the depth of the strike, it's ... too perfect. Without seeing it in real life it's impossible to be certain however. I concur re the depth of strike, though note that the reverse is slightly off-centre which does add a bit of credibility. Definitely needs to be seen in the hand though. If genuine, you tend to get an uneven strike on most hammered coins, so when you see a consistently well struck coin you tend to smell a rat. If it then proves to be genuine, it's a case of drinks all round, though gilding doesn't help. Thanks for all the information. One side of the plume and crown is slightly worn, and there is a very faint sign of inside line underneath the writing on the other side. Under a loupe its far from perfect or well struck. If its real, how much is it likely to fetch?

Yes certainly, here it is

Gosh, that was quick! Thank you very much indeed. The one I have is gold in colour, could that have been plated to put in the pendant?

Your attachment has gone wrong. Maybe you need a space between jpg] and Hi ? Hmm, this is trickier than I thought .... how about this

Hi, does anyone know what this coin is? Or is it a fake? It seems very clean for its age.It is 15mm dia and has just the three plumes on the obverse, not a shield. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
